LG 31-inch Cin­ema 4K mon­i­tor

What is it? ‘Another 4K mon­i­tor!?’ we hear you cry. Just hear us out with this one be­fore you start huff­ing and puff­ing; this is a bit dif­fer­ent.

In­stead of be­ing the UHD-spec 3840x2180 kind of 4K, this is 4096x2180 Cin­ema 4K. Sev­eral 4K cam­eras use this for­mat, so if you want to view this footage prop­erly (or just want a slight­ly­wider-than-nor­mal, 17:9 dis­play), this is the mon­i­tor for you. When’s it due? Out now. Why are we ex­cited? A good home op­tion for 4K film fa­nat­ics us­ing this for­mat is very wel­come, of course. Nat­u­rally you’d be wise to read our iMac with Retina 5K dis­play re­view on page 84 be­fore get­ting too ex­cited…
